Ohhh this is the most wonderful story...So sweet and tander and loving...animals are amazing!!!Such an unlikely couple and that's what truly makes it so touching!Sweetie thinks so too...he says "Puuuuurrrrrr".

I'm with you guys. This story totally melted my heart. The photographs made even my Dad go, "Awww!"

I'm so glad that the conservation workers plan to keep the tortoise and the young hippo together, even after introducing the youngster to an older female hippo. How very sensitive and considerate of them! :)
